Re: Carl Sagan's "Baloney Detection Kit"

... SC/Terry's last response to me was 2,039 words, not including quotes. That's ten (10) pages of 12-point font, double-spaced text, and without even touching the AI analysis I provided. Does Dr. Terry really have no way to convey his thoughts succinctly, ever, on any topic, no matter what? Truly ...

Re: Carl Sagan's "Baloney Detection Kit"

Sagan's checklist works very well for science vs pseudoscience, but it's not calibrated to consider history, politics or law properly. This is a hard cope. There is no 'calibration' required to discern truth versus non-truth, which is explicitly what Sagan had set out to do. It's anything but a ...

Re: Carl Sagan's "Baloney Detection Kit"

Cope. Bronowski isn't a "commentator" or "TV personality", he was an academic who worked directly with the British military during WW2 in operations research and tactical operations, and post-WW2 investigating the effects of war crimes. Its pure cope to downplay this aspect as insignificant. "He ...

Re: Carl Sagan's "Baloney Detection Kit"

This response has been one of the weirdest 'copes' I have ever witnessed from Dr. Terry, in the 12+ years I have been stumbling across his posts. Extremely weird. Agreed, this is pure cope and seethe. >Various actors at the State and institutional level have tailored the narrative according to ...

Re: Carl Sagan's "Baloney Detection Kit"

Fair point. Just a point of curiosity, surely the Hoefle telegram wasn't the only thing considered when the death toll was reduced? Another curiosity, wasn't it an undergrad team that ran across that particular piece of evidence? No, Steven Tyas found the Hoefle telegram in the Bletchley Park ...

Re: Carl Sagan's "Baloney Detection Kit"

Why omit majdanek going down to 78,000? because that came after the discovery of the Hoefle telegram, which was nothing to do with Poland as a government or any Polish institution, but the work of a British researcher who wasn't even an academic. It wasn't relevant to my point about Polish official ...

Re: Carl Sagan's "Baloney Detection Kit"

Not sure how you can stand over this, but here we are. Here we have the hallowed institution of the BBC (which is a state body) platforming the academic Jacob Bronowski to promulgate the 4 million hoax. As much as this is inconvenient to your retcon, the point stands. The BBC is state funded but is ...

Re: Carl Sagan's "Baloney Detection Kit"

When seeking a truthful, rational answer on the 'Holocaust', a sound methodology aimed at seeing through the "noise" and "baloney" should help determine the bare facts and strive toward objectively valid conclusions. So, who can we trust as credible source in telling us how we should approach some ...

Re: Carl Sagan's "Baloney Detection Kit"

The Poles and Soviets hoaxed the 4 million figures, necessitating the co-operation of multiple governments, academics, institutions, journalists, agencies, and civilians, for multiple decades Numbers are bandied around and can indeed become politicised and carved in stone. That happened in the East ...

Re: Convergance of evidence.

On the contrary, a 'preplanned' operation can well result in ad hoc improvisations when it is implemented. Military task forces are quite typical... I appreciate you taking the time to pen your response Mr Check. You raise some valid points. I could counter the first point by referring to the ...

Re: Convergance of evidence.

Mr Check, was the holocaust 'preplanned'? Or was it an 'ad hoc' operation? These ideas are mutually exclusive after all. On the contrary, a 'preplanned' operation can well result in ad hoc improvisations when it is implemented. Military task forces are quite typical. 'ad hoc' refers more to ...

Re: Convergance of evidence.

I don't know how it was possible to misconstrue my point that the 4,000,000 death toll at Auschwitz made the patently absurd absolutely necessary and that the current death toll can only be cremated in the crematoria if you assume 100% of the ovens up 100% of the time for 100% of the operational ...

Re: Revisionism's [Limited?] Role in Modern Politics

The mainstream account of 1941-1945 is absolutely comparable to a major religion: virtually the entire moral foundations of the post-war era depend on it. Remove the mainstream account of 1941-45 and where is the straightforward mainstream defence of post-war liberal democracy and the USA led order ...

Re: Revisionism's [Limited?] Role in Modern Politics

Re: maintenance costs, my thinking is that they have various enforcement mechanisms that they use. For example, a good portion of states now require "Holocaust education" as a matter of state law. That sort of thing doesn't just happen. Jewish groups had to lobby the state governments to pass those ...
